Sorrento is a town of legends and gardens. Away from
the bustling town centre, lies a park above a dramatic 100 metre cliff
enjoying views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius beyond. This is
the site of the Grand Hotel Cocumella, built in the 16th century as a Jesuit
monastery and converted to a hotel in 1822.
Special features range from a seaside solarium and a private chapel
for concerts, to Cocumella's own tall ship 'Vera', built in 1880 and used
for day cruises along the Amalfi Coast and to Capri. The Scintilla Restaurant,
romantically overlooking the park, serves Mediterranean cuisine, accompanied
by fine Italian wines. In summer, the Agrumeto presents a relaxed barbecue
lunch under the shade of orange trees by the pool. As Goethe discovered
in his time, this peaceful spot is the perfect seaside escape.
